Question

what is rusting of iron.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rusting of iron refers to the formation of rust, a mixture of iron oxides, on the surface of iron objects or structures. This rust is formed from a redox reaction between oxygen and iron in an environment containing water (such as air containing high levels of moisture).

Answer 2

Rusting is an oxidation reaction. The iron reacts with water and oxygen to form hydrated iron (III) oxides , which we see as Rust . This prevents the metal below from coming into contact with air containing oxygen.
